January Birchbox!

It is January Birchbox time!

First up, is the Put A Lid On It eye primer from the Balm Cosmetics. I have so many eye primer samples it is stupid, but I am interested to compare this to the rest. On the skin it just felt like it provided moisture and not much else. A full size is $18. 

I love the brand Fresh. I love that they use good ingredients and their lip balm is to die for. I adore the Soy Face Wash but usually their face moisturizers are crazy expensive. This is no different, full size is $42 but I am excited to try this either way. This is the Lotus Youth Preserve Face Cream. It is described as a moisturizer with "antioxidant-rich lotus flower extracts, this lush moisturizer protects skin from the free radicals and hydrates for a full 24 hours". I have a feeling this might make me fall in love. We will see!

I was pretty pleased when I saw this little guy. It is a nail polish by alessandro, which is exclusively partnered with Birchbox. This is a color called blue lagoon. I don't have a blue like this it is more of a slate/grey blue. I cannot wait to try this color out! A full size is $12.

 I have a love-hate relationship with Ojon. Most of their stuff smells so horrible to me that I just cannot use it. I have their texturizing spray and I love it. So I was iffy when I got this. This is the Damage Reverse Instant Restorative Hair Serum which is said to have ojon and macadamia oils to smooth and hydrate. I have only tried it once but I think it may be too much for my shorter hair. I find with my short hair I can't really use oils because it makes my hair greasy. With my long hair, it is no problem. A full size is $25. 

Finally, is the Harvey Prince fragrance Skinny Chic. This is not the first Harvey Prince fragrance I've gotten from Birchbox and if my memory serves me right I am not a big fan. I find them to be too overwhelming and just a strange mix of fruit and flowers. This is a "blend of juicy Meyer lemon, white grapefruit, and pink plumeria". A full size is $21-$55. Not a favorite. 

They included a cute poster full of favorite products and on the other side 25 tips for the new year. Pretty nice but I don't know if I'll hang it up :-P

New Product I Love!

So I really just had to write a post on this because I have never been so excited over a product in my life. No less, a hair product. If you know me, then I am the least fussy person in the world about hair. I never ever blow dry my hair or use heating tools on it, and I pretty much never put product in my hair. It is always natural. 

Well, I've tried some hair oils in the past but have always been careful because my hair just gets so oily from them. However, I've found my new must have hair product!

This stuff is AMAZING! I bought it at Stop and Shop for maybe $9.00? I'm in awe of this, my hair is so much softer and fluffier and just feels and looks ten times better than ever. I've only used this twice and I'm writing this post, so believe me it is a great product. 

I love Organix's (the brand) Argan Oil shampoo, it is a renewing shampoo and it never leaves my hair oily and it makes my hair so much more manageable. I think this is my go to brand for shampoo, conditioner, and the oil for sure!
